What should I have ready?

A phone, tablet or computer with a working camera and microphone (or just your phone for a phone consultation)
A quiet, private place with a good signal
The names of any medicines you take
The name and town of your pharmacy
Any readings you have, such as temperature or blood pressure

What happens after the consultation?

Depending on what your doctor finds, you may receive medical advice, a prescription sent to your pharmacy, a sick certificate, or a referral. If you need an examination or tests, your doctor will tell you how to get them.

Can every problem be dealt with online?

No — and a good online doctor will say so. Conditions that need a physical examination, emergencies and some medicines cannot be managed remotely. DrCall is not for emergencies (call 112 or 999) or for children under 3.
